On June 30th I woke to find my battery with an [x] in the indicator. A quick restart and NVRAM (?) reset found brought back the battery indicator, but now it won’t charge. There has been no water/liquid damage that I know of, since that seems to be the cause of this error in the other threads. I am at a loss as to what to do. MacBook Pro 15" 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo Model #: A1286 Mac Age: 21 months Coconut Battery Status: -1 mAh It works fine using the charger and running off the outlet power. But it refuses to charge. I think that I may need to replace the MagSafe DC-In board, but I wanted to ask just to be sure. The X when I had it was Black. It is gone now, and I have a (Not Charging) indicator.
Resolution Shut down, then remove and reinstall the battery. Test for the issue(s) again. Connect the MagSafe power adapter (if you haven’t already) and see if the behavior continues. If the issue(s) persist, download and install the Mac OS X v10.4.9 Update. If the issue(s) persist, download and install Battery Update 1.3. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1359 Let us know your results and we can proceed.
